<p>I'd like to know how you handle working in more than one branch in the compiler repository. Do you recompile <code>rustc</code> every single time you checkout to a new branch? Do you have more than one copy of the compiler locally?</p>

<p>I have a few checkouts of the compiler. I threw together a shell script, <a href="https://github.com/davidtwco/workman" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/davidtwco/workman">workman</a>, to do it for me.</p>
